Soul.
Now as we begin presenting these kinds of new ideas and embark on this portion of our exploration in earnest, please know thereâs a possibility that somewhere along the way you could be tempted to say: âThis is all very interesting, but what does it have to do with anything? What does all this esoteric stuff have to be with my on-the-ground, 9-to-5 experience?â
Youâll have a chance to say those things later! Right now youâre going to be invited yet one more time to exercise patience, because you canât decide what really matters to you until you know and understand who this âyouâ thatâs being talked about here is âa point that will be made over and over on these pages. So hereâs a very short âprimerâ on the true nature of âyou.â
Everything in life is physicalâincluding your Soul. What you think of as ânonphysicalâ is what you loosely think of as âinvisible.â Yet visible and physical are not the same thing, and many things that are invisible are physical, as you know.
Most people who believe in the existence of the Soul at all agree that the Soul lives forever. (Whether it spends eternity in âHeavenâ or in âHellâ is a matter of differing theological persuasion, but there seems to be little argument among major religions that the Soul exists eternally.)
What most people have never been told is that the essential energy of which your Body and Mind are composed also never ceases to existâalthough, unlike your Soul, they change form.
Your Body and your Mind could thus be called âshape-shifters.â They can and do change shape or form throughout eternity. They do this at the behest of the Soul , which uses the Essential Energy that forms the Body and the Mind as its tools.
Think of a man who hammers out a new shape from white-hot steel, which is malleable and can be poured until it cools and hardens. The energy that forms the Body and the Mind is likewise âmalleableâ when it is âwhite hotââor, in the language of metaphysics, when it shines brightly with the Light that Essential Energy emits in its essential state.
The shape of the Body and the Mind are altered when the oscillation of their energy vibration changes frequencyâwhich it does when their energy moves into the Physical Realm. Certain frequencies of this energy vibration can make all or part of the Body invisible to humans. The Mind (not to be confused with the brain, which is part of the Body) is an example. It is invisible, but not undetectable. It is the energy package that animates the brain.
Yet while neither the Mind nor the Body are seen following what is called âdeathâ (the Body usually having been buried or cremated, the Mind having simply âdisappearedâ), this does not mean they do not exist.
The Body certainly exists, you might reason, either in a slowly changing form, as a deteriorating corpse, or in the form of ashes that are more quickly absorbed by the rest of the physical world.
We think that this is the whole of the Bodyâall there is left of what once was. We say that the Body has been reduced to this. Yet it turns out that this is only the residue. In reality, a personâs âremainsâ are literally and simply that: what âremainsâ in visible form. This is the least of the energy components that comprised your physical being. It is merely the part of your physical energy that continues to vibrate within a frequency range that allows the energy to be visible.
The largest portion of your physical energy shifts its vibration at the moment that you call âdeath,â rendering it invisible to the naked eye.
Even now, before death, there are parts of you that are invisible. There are some humans who are reportedly able to view what are popularly called âauras,â which they describe as energy fields that surround the Body.
